WWE 2K24: 10 Worst Looking Characters

WWE 2K24 is great, but we've got to talk about some of those character models!

It's worth saying over and over again that WWE 2K24 is one of the best wrestling games ever made. The variety of modes, superb gameplay, new match types to mess around with and the awesome creation hub (including that sweet Community Creations goodness) all combines to make 2K's latest a real champion.

Not everything is perfect though.

Some of the character models are a little on the wonky side. Of course, there's nothing here that tops the misery of a graphical nightmare like 2K20, but it is fair to say that a few workers were done dirty this year. Just ask Bayley, she'll tell you! No spoiler warning needed there - take a look at the featured image and you'll see that the freshly turned babyface has every right to be a bit peeved by her character in the new game.

Bayley isn't alone. Hair remains a real issue for 2K's artists, and too many of the legends on the roster feel a little bit off. Obviously, there's some nitpicking here, so know that going in. Maybe you think all of these models are perfectly fine, which is...perfectly fine.

Brace for slight disappointment if you're a perfectionist though.

10. Bobby Heenan

Either someone farted in the pic above or Bobby Heenan is holding one in himself!

Seriously though, the iconic manager looks fine enough at first glance in 2K24. In short, he's fine when patrolling ringside for old warhorses like Andre The Giant or Rick Rude, but Bobby could've done with a bit more polish. His hair is a little ragged, and there's a vacant stare on the sharp-witted legend's face that's hard to ignore.

Also, 2K couldn't have gone for a less inspiring outfit for the promo expert if they'd tried. Sure, they picked that one because of WrestleMania III in the Showcase mode, but still - where's the glitter and glam people came to know and love/hate? That's what alt attire slots are for, surely.

A nitpicky one to kick off with then, and there's no denying it. This writer is a massive Heenan fanboy though, so it was ever so slightly disappointing to see how low-res his model was in the new game. Especially with all the WrestleMania-inspired retro hype pre-launch.
